Banyuwangi Flerdagsturer

Tack vare Fauzi och Fredy hade vi en mycket trevlig tid, även om Ijen var stängt på grund av oväntade omständigheter, men de kunde ordna och anpassa resan för oss. Båda två är mycket vänliga, hårt arbetande och hängivna sina jobb med stor passion, vilket gjorde vår resa underbar. De förtjänar en löneförhöjning och allt beröm.

Fantastisk upplevelse med Blue Shark Adventures! En enorm mängd mark täcktes på kort tid. Var en fantastisk inblick i Java! Tack Ruly och alla andra förare! Rekommenderas varmt!

Vår 4 dagar och 3 nätter långa resa till Bromo, Ijen Blue Flame och Tumpak Sewu-vattenfallet var helt perfekt! Boendet som ordnades var utmärkt och mycket bekvämt, vilket gjorde att vi kunde vila ordentligt efter varje fysiskt krävande dag. Vi vill särskilt tacka vår guide Anam och vår chaufför. Chauffören körde så smidigt att vi kunde vila bekvämt under de långa körningarna. Vår guide Anam var otroligt professionell och engagerad; han introducerade oss djupt för den lokala javanesiska kulturen och historien längs vägen, vilket gav oss en mycket rikare förståelse för platserna vi besökte. Oavsett om han guidade oss genom midnattsvandringen för att se Ijen Blue Flame eller utforskade vattenfallet, prioriterade Anam alltid vår säkerhet. Dessutom är han en fantastisk fotograf! Han hjälpte oss att ta så många fantastiska bilder, vilket skapade oförglömliga minnen. Rekommenderar starkt detta team, en 5-stjärnig upplevelse!

Our three-day, two-night East Java volcano tour truly exceeded our family's expectations! We learned after booking that the Ijen crater was closed. The travel agency not only promptly informed us but also actively helped us adjust our itinerary, even adding the Madakaripura Waterfall, which turned out to be the most surprising and memorable part of our trip. The three-day, two-night private tour was absolutely worth it! We had a dedicated guide and driver with us the entire time. Our guide, Jiaxin, is a native Indonesian but speaks fluent Chinese, so communication was seamless. Along the way, he shared many stories about the volcanoes, culture, and local life, and he also took excellent care of our family of four. During the trip, my husband, who suffers from severe sleep apnea, had a very strong reaction to the high altitude. Jiaxin meticulously looked after him, especially during the climb up Mount Ijen, where he accompanied and supported him almost the entire way. This allowed me to focus on caring for our two children without having to juggle responsibilities between family members. His attentiveness and sense of responsibility truly touched us. (And we even saw the beautiful artificial blue fire at the volcano!) Throughout the journey, Jiaxin also adjusted the pace according to our family's condition, arranging timely breaks, helping us take photos, and recommending local delicacies, making the entire trip very relaxed and comfortable. At Mount Bromo, when we were delayed and missed breakfast, he quietly arranged for the hotel to save meal boxes for us, so we had food waiting as soon as we returned to the hotel – truly thoughtful. I must also commend our driver, Agus Botak. Every day involved long drives of over four hours, often on winding mountain roads in East Java, and sometimes even starting in the early morning. Yet, he was always energetic and drove smoothly, allowing us to rest comfortably in the car. For families traveling with children, a safe and reliable driver is incredibly important. What touched us most was that they didn't treat this job as a routine task; they genuinely cared for every traveler. These three days brought us not only beautiful scenery but also heartwarming human connection. This was the best travel experience I've had in Southeast Asia to date, which is why I'm writing this review so earnestly, hoping it can serve as a reference for others. From the travel agency's arrangements and the guide's professionalism to the driver's attentiveness, they left me with a wonderful impression of Indonesia. I will definitely recommend them to my friends and family. I also want to add that the cost of this private tour includes one meal, local guides for Madakaripura Waterfall and Ijen Volcano, all entrance fees, and necessary equipment, so there's no need to worry about additional expenses – it's truly worth it! ❤️

transport options: Our driver Dosi was very friendly and made our transfer to each location very smooth. itinerary: Prepare for irregular sleeping hours as we needed to wake up at 12am to drive to the location for sunrise. But it was worth it. tour guide: Each attraction had its guide. Shout out to our waterfall guide, Edi. He went above and beyond by constantly helping us take instagrammable photos and videos even though we didn't ask. At the end of the attraction, he even helped us to compile it into a ready to post video and sent us all 100+ photos and videos. attractions: Not for the faint of heart. There were steep hikes involved and was more adventurous than we had expected. Definitely watch some YouTube vlogs to get a sense of the fitness level required. accomodation options: Fluctuating quality. One of them was amazing as it was a business hotel. The other 2 had a good outside view of nature but also had bugs (which probably can't be helped since it's near nature)

This volcano and waterfall tour was absolutely worth it. Thank you, Dasi and Nandu, for giving us such pleasant memories. I strongly advise everyone to visit the waterfall, and it's crucial to hire a guide – it's a matter of life and death, so definitely get one!
